FLORIOGRAPHY
Sep. 19th, 2016 04:51 pmFloriography - the language of flowers.
This language rose in popularity around the Victorian Era across the western world, but it has since more or less fallen out of fashion. Meanings differed between countries, cultures, and regions, so it was good to make sure you and your partners had the same dictionary, lest any misunderstandings occur. Today, many common meanings have stuck around (such as red roses for love), but others have faded into obscurity or changed entirely.
